FAMILY DISPLACED BY MONDAY FIRE - Above, firefighers sift through the wreckage of a Mustang Ridge area home that was destroyed by fire on Monday afternoon. Firefighters from Chisholm Trail Fire Rescue joined forces with resources from the Caldwell County Office of Emergency Management, Mid-County Fire Rescue, Travis County Emergency Service District 11 and Bastrop County Emergency Service District 1 to extinguish the blaze before anyone was injured, but the family is now receiving services from the American Red Cross, as well as Texas Firewalkers, to rebuild their lives. Information on donations for the couple and their 3-year-old child can be found at www.texasfirewalkers.org. Information as to the source of the blaze was not available at press time.

Library hosts Grand Reopening Saturday By Kathi Bliss Editor/POST-REGISTER The oldest continuously-operational library in the state of Texas got a facelift last year. On Saturday, the Dr. Eugene Clark Library, along with the City of Lockhart, invites the public to the Grand Re-Opening and ribbon cutting for the Dr. Eugene Clark Library complex, which now includes the original “Clark building,” and the three story “Masonic Annex.” The sweeping renovation project, completed late last autumn, opened up the space on the upper two floors of the historic Masonic Building, allowing for expanded usage of both stacks and technology areas, and opened up the lower floor of the building for the Clark Library’s famed Children’s Section. Additionally, over the course of the renovation, several books were moved out of the original Clark Lyceum, which is now attached to the Masonic Building by an expanded desk and circulation area.

Historic Theatre with a thriving heartbeat Gaslight-Baker gears up for 2015 season By Kathi Bliss Editor/POST-REGISTER Actors are running lines. Set directors are painting props. Directors are blocking scenes. There is no rest for the creative in Lockhart, as the Gaslight-Baker Theatre (GBT) prepares for the 2015 season. In addition to the seven full-scale stage productions slated for this season, the GBT is planning for a variety of special productions, starting on Jan. 25 with the second annual Magic Show. This show features several of South Central Texas’ finest magicians, ventriloquists and puppeteers presenting a one-day-only show, with a matinee performance at 2 p.m. and an evening performance at 6 p.m. Afterward, the stage will be cleared and reset for the upcoming production of Neil Simon’s “Odd Couple: The Female Version.” Unger and Madison are at it again - Florence Unger and Olive Madison, that is, in Neil Simon’s hilarious contemporary comic classic: the female version of The Odd Couple. Instead of the poker party that begins the original version, Ms. Madison has invited the girls over for an evening of Trivial Pursuit. The Pidgeon sisters have been replaced by the two Constanzuela brothers. But the hilarity remains the same. “The Odd Couple: The Female Version” will run from Feb. 13-28. Just in time for spring, the Theatre will present “Suite Surrender,” by Michael McKeever. It’s 1942, and two of Hollywood’s biggest divas have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel — assistants, luggage, and legendary feud with one another in tow. Everything seems to be in order for their wartime performance...that is, until they are somehow assigned to the same suite. Mistaken identities, overblown egos, double entendres, and a lap dog named Mr. Boodles round out this hilarious riot of a love note to the classic farces of the 30s and 40s. “Suite Surrender” is scheduled March 13-28. Comedy blends with tragedy in May, with the spring run tying up with “An Empty Plate in the Café du Grand Boeuf,” a comedy filled with food for thought and laughter, by Michael Hollinger.

Brain wave technology helps returning soldiers suffering with PTSD AMAC says Magnetic Resonance Therapy may help autism, Alzheimer’s patients Post Traumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD] has been the bane of many veterans who fought in the Iraq and Afghan wars, causing insomnia, panic attacks, alcohol abuse and even suicidal thoughts.  Until now, there were few, if any, effective treatment alternatives.  But, a new procedure using Magnetic Resonance Therapy developed at the Brain Treatment Center may hold the key to a cure. Veterans who have successfully undergone the MRT treatment use terms like “miracle,” “gamechanger” and “waking up” to describe the results they achieved at the BTC facility in Newport Beach, CA. PTSD, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens, is “what we used to call ‘battle fatigue’ or ‘shell shock’ and it manifests itself in variety of debilitating ways.  Returning soldiers are awakened in the midst of warbased nightmares.  They experience panic attacks and some harbor thoughts of taking their own lives.  One report showed an 80% increase in suicides among soldiers returning from the war

fronts in the Middle East during the height of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.” AMAC is keeping a watchful eye on the MRT treatment alternative because of its potentially effective use in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.  “But, the fact that it is helping our wounded warriors to cope with the aftermath of war is an important first focus.” Many of the PTSD treatments to date have focused on the symptoms of the disorder; the MRT procedure appears to concentrate on the workings of the brain, itself. As Dr. Kevin T. Murphy, Vice Chair of the Department of Radiation Medicine and Applied Sciences, UC San Diego Medical Center, put it: “Addressing the core frequency mismatch that occurs in various parts of the brain, and not the patient’s symptoms per se, allows this system to be potentially useful in numerous psychological and neurological disorders, from autism to Alzheimers.” Dr. Yi Jin, medical director of the Brain Treatment Center, is

careful in an encouraging way when he describes the successes of the BTC’s new therapeutic approach.  “We are not claiming efficacy, but we are seeing clinical responses that are positive.” Both Murphy and Jin are believers and intent on proving the efficacy of their approach.  As Murphy, whose 10-year-old son is afflicted with Asperger’s syndrome, told Richard Leiby, a senior writer at the Washington Post: “Right now it’s like we’re selling snake oil.  It’s hard to believe, and if I hadn’t had my own son treated, I wouldn’t have believed it.”  The child underwent months of therapy and has shown extraordinary improvement as a result. Likewise, Iraqi war veteran Jon Warren says he recovered from acute PTSD after he was treated with Magnetic Resonance Therapy.  He no longer suffers from the extreme combat flashbacks and nightmares that made him dysfunctional.  They set “my [brain] frequencies right” and his life is returning to normal.

Abbott calls for independent HHSC review By Edgar Walters THE TEXAS TRIBUNE Gov.-elect Greg Abbott announced Wednesday the creation of an independent “strike force” to review the state’s largest health agency, specifically how it awards contracts to private vendors. “In the wake of recent revelations at the Health and Human Services Commission, my transition team has taken steps to ensure there is a full and thorough outside review of management, operations, and contracting at the agency,” Abbott said in a written statement. The agency has been the subject of heavy criticism for awarding a $110 million contract outside of the competitive bidding process.  In a statement, HHSC Executive Commissioner Kyle Janek said his agency would fully cooperate with the review. “I’m grateful for Governor-elect Abbott’s help and support as we work to improve contracting and agency operations,” he said.

cer of the Texas A&M University System, and Heather Griffith Peterson, chief financial officer of the Texas Department of Agriculture, will lead the strike force, Abbott said. Earlier Wednesday at a meeting of the Sunset Advisory Commission, which evaluates the efficiency of state agencies, lawmakers had stern words for the health commission.  “These reports demonstrate just how dysfunctional the current agency structure has become,” state Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, said at a hearing to evaluate the state agency. “Contracts are being procured under a patchwork of different protocols across independent agencies.”  The situation at the commission’s office of inspector general, which investigates fraud at the agency, was “first smoke, now fire,” said state Sen. Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa, D-McAllen. In December, Gov. Rick Perry fired the agency’s inspector general, Doug Wilson, amid questions over how the contracts were awarded.  Lawmakers on the Sunset Com-

mission said the heightened scrutiny of the agency’s contracting process would not affect their recommendation to consolidate HHSC with four other health-related agencies this year. “I firmly believe that consolidation of HHSC is still needed,” said state Rep. Four Price, R-Amarillo. Janek attended the hearing but was not called to testify. Instead, lawmakers traded remarks about whether anything should be done about agency personnel. “The question I had is, is this a system failure? Or a people failure?” asked state Rep. Harold Dutton, D-Houston. “My initial response is both,” answered Nelson. “We can fix the system failure,” Dutton said. “I’m not sure how we fix the people failure.” This story was produced in partnership with  Kaiser Health News, an editorially independent program of the Henry J.

LPD reports on holiday efforts Texas law enforcement ramped up patrols to combat drunk driving during the holiday season. Officers statewide worked thousands of extra hours in December to help keep people safe on the roadways. Texas participated in the national enforcement crackdown sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The period of intensified national enforcement ran from Dec. 10 – Jan. 1. During the Christmas and New Year holiday season, Lockhart Police Department issued citations for driving while intoxicated. In addition to jail time, drivers who are arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol can face fines, fees, and associated costs of up to $17,000. The legal limit in Texas for intoxication is .08 BAC (blood or breath alcohol concentration). However, when a law enforcement officer has probable cause based on the driver’s behavior, drivers can be arrested with a BAC below .08. “We would rather write you up than allow a bad decision that could ruin the rest of your life – or someone else’s life,” said Police Chief, Michael Lummus.

COMMENTS CLOSE IN TCEQ LANDFILL PROCESS - The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality held the final public meeting on the permit for the 130 Environmental Park Landfill on Thursday evening, with unusually lackluster attendance from the public. Though the meeting stretched for more than three hours, much of the commentary addressed issues already brought before the Commission. After the meeting, Green Group Holdings, the company behind the landfill, opted to request that TCEQ forward the case to the State Office of Administrative Hearings, in an effort to expedite the process of moving toward a contested case hearing. The constested case hearing step could take years, and must be settled before Green Group can break ground on the 250-acre landfill project.

Brief meeting begins year under Schawe By Kathi Bliss Editor/POST-REGISTER Routine business and procedural questions dominated the agenda as Caldwell County Judge Kenneth Schawe took his seat on Monday morning. Maintenance and construction at the Caldwell County Judicial Center were high on the list of business at the first regular meeting of the new year. According to Caldwell County Maintenance Supervisor Curtis Webber, the floors at the center are already beginning to show signs of wear, only six weeks after the opening of the new building. To offset that wear, he requested the Commissioners authorize the purchase of cleaning equipment, including a burnisher and a power scrubber, at a total cost of $10,924. The equipment, Webber said, was not included in his budget for the current fiscal year. “We build a big building, and we didn’t consider how we were going to take care of it,” he said. “There are things we need to do to maintain, but it’s going to cost money.” Newly-seated Precinct 2 Commissioner Eddie Moses questioned Webber as to whether he had asked for bids on the equipment, and expressed concern that the floor scrubber would damage the mosaic art in the entryway of the building. Webber contended that he knows how to take care of the floors, and that the fulltime maintenance staff at the Judicial Center would not be using the burnisher on that area of the floor. Though he had asked for additional staff positions to help with maintenance of the Judicial Center in the current budget year, Webber’s request was denied by former County Judge Tom Bonn. The Court opted to table discussion of the equipment purchase until their Jan. 20, 2015, meeting. The Court also voted unanimously to earmark $13,000 for the construction of platforms in each of the four courtrooms. The platforms, according to contractor Les Reddin, are necessary for the Judges, clerks and court reporters to maintain line-of-sight in the courtrooms. “This is not an error or omission, it’s just something we discovered when we put people in the building,” Reddin said. “If we had known to do it, we would

the TxDOT construction of the bridge on Oak Grove have done it to start with.” Talk of the platforms spurred Precinct 1 Commis- Rd. (County Road 127). The Court opted not to change the regular date and sioner Alfredo Munoz to remind the public and the stakeholders in the building that all changes to the time of their meetings. They approved the payment of several bills, inbuilding must be approved through the Court. “Not just anyone can come up to the contractors cluding $264,346.05 to Braun and Butler Construction and ask them to do extra work. The court needs to ap- for the Caldwell County Judicial Center. The Caldwell County Commissioners Court rouprove extra changes,” he said. “It’s going to be easy for people to ask them in the building to go to them tinely meets on the second, third and fourth Monday and ask for this or that, but if it’s going to cost any- of each month at 9 a.m. in the second floor courtroom of the Caldwell County Courthouse.

Roy Williams Saying goodbye is never an easy thing to do, but it becomes even more difficult when the most wonderful man you have ever known passes away. On Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2015 at 8:31 a.m., Roy A. Williams left us on the wings of a dove to meet our Lord and was reunited with the love of his life, his wife, Mary. On Jan. 12, 1930, Roy was born to James N. Williams and Allie Carlton Williams in Savannah, Okla. He grew up in a loving family and was blessed with several siblings that included his sisters, Lucille and Freda, and his brothers, Garvis (“Bill”), Doyle, Jaciel, and J.T. He married the love of his life, Mary Harrison, in Giddings, Texas, on May 30, 1952. Born to them were two daughters, Kathy Williams and Sharon Williams Sturn. Roy was a hard working family man who did all he could to provide for his family. This could be seen in the businesses he owned and operated in Lockhart, Texas. Lockhart Welding Service was one of his companies where he could weld anything except a broken heart or the break of the morning’s light on the horizon. While working in the welding service, he and Mary opened Williams Hardware. While staying busy with the two businesses, he managed to find the time to open a third business, Lockhart Well Service. The well service soon became his main livelihood and passion. He loved drilling water wells and continued to operate Lockhart Well Service until he retired in 2000. Roy served his country in the US Army and was a proud Korean War Veteran. He belonged to several non-profit organizations where he selflessly dedicated his time; The Masons, the Ben Hur Shriners, and the Ben Hur Shriners Travel Club to name just a few. He loved to visit the children at the Shriners Hospital for Children in Houston. If he could bring a smile to their face, it always brought one to his. He truly had a heart of gold. He is survived by his two sisters, Lucille Croniger and Freda Diz; one brother Doyle Williams (Lucille); two daughters, Kathy Williams and Sharon Williams Sturn (Harold); four grandchildren: Ryan Williams (Tracey), Rocky Williams, Michael Kolos (Lynette), and Cecily Gaudinski (Adam); and nine great-grandchildren: Jordan Herman, Cade, Colton and Kiersten Williams, RJ Williams, Brayden and Remy Kolos, Jaxen and Baby Gaudinski. He was preceded in death by his wife of 53 years, Mary Williams; parents, James and Allie Williams; and brothers, JT Williams, Bill Williams and Jaciel Williams. A memorial service was scheduled at 2 p.m. on, Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2015, at Eeds Funeral Home. All arrangements with Eeds Funeral Home, 408 S. Main St., Lockhart, Texas. (512) 398-2343.

Board eyes accountability, staffing changes By Kathi Bliss Editor/POST-REGISTER In an effort to expedite their monthly business meetings, the Lockhart Independent School District Board of Trustees has taken to holding workshops on the third Monday of each month, hearing information and preparing for additional questions during their regular business meeting. Monday’s Board Workshop focused primarily on accountability ratings within the District, and particularly the appearance of three LISD campuses on the Texas Education Agency’s “Public Education Grant” (PEG) list. Different from the State’s accountability ratings on the STAAR test, the PEG list is meant to notify parents of campuses with passing rates on the STAAR test in any two of the three preceding years, as well as those which were rated “Improvement Required.” Bluebonnet Elementary, Navarro Elementary and Lockhart High School each made an appearance on the list, which includes nearly 1,200 campuses, or about one-fifth of schools in the state of Texas. “We were prepared for this, and we knew it was coming,” Board Vice President Brenda Spillmann said. Trustee Tom Guyton agreed, noting the way accountability ratings were structured for the inaugural year of the STAAR test was weighted against districts throughout the state. Dr. Pam Johnson, the Director of Secondary Curriculum, noted the PEG standards are weighted on different indices than the State Accountability Ratings, and that though LISD campuses were noted on the current PEG list, parents have nothing to fear for

their children’s educations. “Bluebonnet, for instance, was still above the state target of 55 percent passing, but because the science score was lower than 50 percent, they’re on the list,” she said. “Once all the scores are aggregated, they made the state target and exceeded it.” Not so with the Lockhart High School scores, which noted a 45 percent passing rate on the Algebra portion of the STAAR. However, because testing for Algebra occurs at the Freshman level, and the freshmen are separated from the rest of the high school population, there appears to be a penalty toward Lockhart High. “Most of the students who failed at the high school were re-testers,” Johnson said. “If those scores had been combined with the first-time testers, if we had a 9-12 campus, they would have been over the percentage.” Still the low performance ratings at the high school have sparked concern, and local social media was alive on Wednesday morning with rumors of a new principal being assigned to Lockhart High. That idea might not sit well with the Board. “I don’t think anyone should be thrown under the bus, especially our staff,” Spillmann said to her colleagues. “There are so many variables, and it takes time to build a program.” Board Secretary Jon Reyes agreed. “Teachers and administrators are always held accountable,” he said. We always want and expect the best from them, and we see that through the work they do. Our teachers have worked hard, but because of the change in the system, there were some areas that needed improvement. When you don’t know the expectations, you can only do so much.”

The expectations Reyes referred to notes the lack in information on the first round of STAAR testing as to what the test would cover, or how it would be scored. In other business, the Trustees discussed the possibility of allocating $13,450 in funding for tuition for students to attend the National Hispanic Institute’s Great Debate and Lorenzo de Zavala Youth Legislative Session. The conferences, which Superintendent Rolando “Rudy” Trevino said take place at different times throughout the country, are open to several students. He chose not to expand on how the students are chosen for their participation, but said he would invite representatives from NHI to the regular meeting next week to discuss the selection process, and how the seminars are funded. The funds the Trustees will consider are expected to fund tuition for ten students to each program, or a total of 20 students this year. After covering matters of routine business, the board convened in executive session to discuss the potential purchase of property for a new elementary school, as well as the evaluation process for the Superintendent. The Lockhart ISD Board of Trustees holds their routine business meeting on the fourth Monday of each month in the Conference Center at Lockhart High School. However, because of the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday, this month’s meeting will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 20, at 6:30 p.m. The meetings are also available online at www.lockhartisd.org.

L IBRARY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A Clark Building has now returned to its originally intended purpose, as a lyceum and stage area, which also houses periodicals and the Library’s collection of local and State history volumes, as well as a cozy reading and study area for library patrons. On Saturday, the Li-

brary will host the official Grand Re-Opening of the Library Complex, and invites the public to come and enjoy a variety of educational events as they tour the buildings and become familiar with the new layout of the nearly doubled library space. The event begins at 2 p.m., and will include re-

marks from not only local leaders in library support, but also an appearance from US Representative Lloyd Doggett. The Lockhart Junior High School Concert Band will perform, and the Library staff will share with the public several of the expanded spaces and technologies

available in the newlyrenovated Dr. Eugene Clark Library Complex. As the Library has expanded its space in the last year, it has also expanded services, to include not only a Technology Center that provides computers with the latest word-processing and desktop publish-

ing software, but also high-speed internet, an extensive database of magazines and newspapers, and the capability to “check out” electronic books for free to Library patrons. A library card at the Dr. Eugene Clark Library is free to residents of the City of Lockhart, and

costs only $XX per year for those who do not live within the city limits. For information on the Dr. Eugene Clark Library, visit www.lockhart-tx.org or call the Library at (512) 398-3223.

Afterschool participation grows: Unmet demand still nears 20 million children “America After 3 PM,” a new survey commissioned by the Afterschool Alliance, finds that participation in afterschool programs has increased dramatically, from 6.5 million children in 2004 to 10.2 million today. Unmet demand has increased, as well. The parents of 19.4 million children not in afterschool programs say they would enroll their children if programs were available. Every day, children in afterschool programs expand their horizons, enhance their skills and discover their passions by programming computers, planting gardens, cleaning

up parks and playgrounds, and by participating in many more activities that prepare them for college, career and life. But despite an increase in participation over the last decade, the new survey of 30,000 American households found that, for every child currently enrolled in an afterschool program, there are two more who are not – and whose parents would like them to be. “I’ve seen firsthand what reams of data have proven: Afterschool programs do remarkable things for our children, families and communities,” said former Califor-

nia Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, founder of After-School All-Stars. “They help kids with their homework, teach them teamwork, engage them in community service, pair them with mentors, give them the chance to get — and stay — physically fit, engage them in activities like rocketry and robotics that turn them on to 21st-century professions, connect them to community partners, and much more. We need to make an afterschool program available to every child.” The new “America After 3PM” survey finds that both participation in,

and unmet demand for, afterschool programs are much higher among children from low-income households than households with higher income, and higher among African American and Hispanic than white children. The parents of 60 percent of the nation’s African American children would enroll their children in programs if ones were available, as would the parents of 57 percent of Latino children. The same is true of 35 percent of white children. “Afterschool programs help students use the skills and information they learn in school, while keeping them safe, inspir-

ing them to learn, and providing essential help to working families,” said Afterschool Alliance Executive Director Jodi Grant. “While we have made some progress, we are nowhere close to meeting the demand for afterschool and summer programs. Too many children are missing out on the fun, educational activities afterschool programs offer because federal funding has been stalled for years. It’s past time to increase our country’s investment in afterschool.” The benefits of afterschool programs are clear to families. More than eight in ten parents with

children in afterschool programs say these programs help working parents keep their jobs. Eighty-five percent say the programs give working parents peace of mind. “America After 3PM, 2014” was funded by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, The Wallace Foundation, the Ford Foundation and the Noyce Foundation, with additional support from the Heinz Endowments, The Robert Bowne Foundation and the Samueli Foundation.  (Courtesy of StatePoint Media)

which they highly encourage you to do. Your small yearly contribution helps the fire department maintain their trucks, equipment, and provide important trainings for the volunteers. Also, the Fire Department relies on fundraisers; the Barbecue and Auction will be scheduled in April at the

BY MARIBEL RAMIREZ Dale Community Center. The last one had a great turn out as I remember it, so this one will be just as fantastic, maybe better. The meeting taught me a few things, such as making decisions that are difficult to make, facing obstacles, and trying to  solve  unanswered questions. Some people leave and new people ap-

pear, all for different understandable reasons. Making decisions for them wasn’t just one person ordering them what they should or should not do; they work together to find out the best solution. It isn’t all seriousness and business though, they get to the point  but with a few laughs echoing toward the back of the

room and pure smiles and greetings. You know when you walk in, they’re not only working together, but they get along as friends as well. The next meeting for the Dale Volunteer Fire Department is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 2 at 7 p.m. Volunteers are always needed and the community is encour-

Feral Hog Workshop scheduled Feb. 3 The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, in cooperation with the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board, will host a Feral Hog Management Workshop on Feb. 3, 2015 at the Luling Foundation Farm in Luling. Registration for the event starts at 8 a.m. Five hours have been approved for Texas Department of Agriculture pesticide applicator continuing education units at the program (two General, two IPM and one Laws and Regulations). Texas has one of the

largest feral hog populations of any state, and AgriLife Extension has estimated that the destructive habits of hogs cause about $52 million in damages annually to Texas farms, ranches and the agricultural industry. Feral hogs are also significant contributors of pollutants to creeks and rivers across the state. As feral hogs congregate around water sources to drink and wallow, their fecal matter is deposited directly in streams, adding bacteria and nutri-

ents to the water bodies. Extensive rooting by groups of feral hogs causes extreme erosion and soil loss. Landowners and other stakeholders in the Plum Creek watershed have identified feral hogs as a contributor to elevated bacteria levels in the creek. Through the Plum Creek Watershed Protection Plan, landowners have identified management and control of this invasive species as a priority mechanism to restore and protect water quality in

Plum Creek. Topics at the workshop will be: Basic Biology of Feral Swine, Feral Hogs in the Plum Creek Watershed, Plum Creek Watershed Protection Plan Implementation, Population Dynamics, Laws and Regulations for Hunting Feral Hogs, Regulations on Movement of Feral Hogs, Feral Hog Control, and Feral Hog Safety and Disease Concerns, Update on Feral Hog Research. Information about controlling feral hogs is available at both of these

websites: plumcreek.tamu.edu/ feralhogs http://feralhogs.tamu. edu/ Please pre-register with the Caldwell County Extension Office by Jan. 31 to ensure an accurate count for the meal and handouts. Registration is $15 and includes lunch and refreshments. There will be a $5 late fee at the door for individuals who have not pre-registered. Individuals with disabilities should contact the Extension office at least two days prior

to the event so accommodations can be made. For more information or to pre-register contact the Caldwell County Extension office at 1403 Blackjack St., Ste. B in Lockhart, (512) 398-3122 or at [email protected]. This event is provided through a Clean Water Act Section 319(h) nonpoint source grant from the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

drama inspired by a simple, poignant letter written over 100 years ago by 8-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon to the editor of the New York Sun—and by the timeless editorial response printed on the front page of the Sun. Virginia questions the existence of Santa Claus. Ed Mitchell, the Sun’s editor, gives the assignment of answering Virginia’s letter to Frank Church who, until his wife and baby died last Christmas Eve, was the Sun’s best and most dependable reporter. Yes Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus is a play for young and old, magically reaffirming life’s highest beauty and joy—”the eternal light with which childhood fills the world.” “Yes, Virginia,” runs Dec. 4 – 19.

Throughout the season, the Gaslight-Baker Theater will open its historic stage to the community for several other events, including benefit concerts, fundraisers, and the ever-popular “Evenings with the Songwriter” series hosted by local musician and producer Fletcher

Clark. Single-use and season tickets are available for purchase at www.mygbt.org. Those who would rather create the art than witness it are always being sought, as well. Volunteers are welcome year-round to participate in stage and set dressing,

wardrobe creation, lighting design and more. Additionally, volunteers are needed for publicity and outreach, concession staff, hair and makeup and more. For

information about how to help “put the Art in Lockhart,” visit www.mygbt.org. Also, watch the website for audition opportunities.

This one-night-only tribute show is a variety show filled with music, dance, comedy and magic, giving a nod to those traveling shows seen by our heroes and heroines serving in the United States military. You will see performances by the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and Whoopi Goldberg - to name just a few. And since this production is our way of saying thank you, if you have served in the military (or are currently serving), just tell the person at the ticket window, and you will be given free admittance.

COURTESY OF HECTOR LOZANO

Thank a Lockhart ISD School Board Member January is School Board Recognition Month and Lockhart ISD is joining other districts across the state to thank these local leaders for their dedication and willingness to serve as advocates for our children and public schools. “Even though we are making a special effort in January to show appreciation to our board members, we realize their many contributions reflect a year-round commitment. They generously give of themselves to ensure that decisions directly affecting our local schools are made by representatives of this community, people who are close to our schools and know our teachers, parents, and students,” said Rolando “Rudy” Treviño, Lockhart ISD superintendent. “As elected officials, they are the voice of their communities, serving first and foremost in the best interest of Texas schoolchildren.” “Board members shoulder critical responsibilities and often make difficult choices. Their ultimate goal is always focused on the future success of the children in our district,” Treviño said. “It’s more important than ever before that the community supports public education so that today’s students are prepared to be productive citizens and the leaders of tomorrow. Our board members provide vision and leadership in their roles as advocates, and they will continue to stand up for public education and guard against anything that

takes away from our children or undermines our public schools,” he said. Board members serving Lockhart ISD are: Carl M. Cisneros - Board President; Brenda Spillmann - Board Vice President; Jon Reyes – Board Secretary; Tom Guyton - Board Member; Jessica Neyman - Board Member; Michael Wright – Board Member; and Steve Johnson - Board Member. “Our district benefits from the tireless work and countless hours contributed by these local citizens who work without pay.

In the end, the depth of the Rattlers, and free throws were too pion Chargers. The game had a playoff intensity to it, as both teams knew it was pivotal in a district where every game is very close. Neither team had more than a seven-point lead, and the Lions closed that deficit to take a threepoint lead late in the fourth quarter, with tremendous defensive effort. Tyrell Williams and Jacob Roland forced many turnovers which led to runouts by Bruce Busbee and Clay Buehring on the other end offensively. Buehring hit a key three-point shot with less than a minute on the clock to bring the Lions to within a basket, but Champion hit their free throws, and won by four.  Returning from the break, and a bye, the Lions traveled to an energized San Marcos Rattler Gym, which was packed for the occasion.

I’ve had a unique perspective to be on both sides of this for the past 17 years, and though not what we came to San Marcos for, the difference and gap has closed between us.” The Lions are currently 3-3 in district and 11-8 overall heading to Seguin and Alamo Heights this week, both road contests. Seguin is currently leading the district with a 6-1 record.  JV Lion Basketball The JV Lions played inspired basketball but fell a bit short against Boerne Champion during the holiday break. Despite the strong performance, the Lions fell short, 38-32. Tyresse Purefoy led scoring with 10 points. Marcos Wilson added eight, and Roland Luna scored 6. Bensomn Egbue and Stephon Houston scored two points each in the tight, well-played game.

Eighth Grade Lions The Lions Eighth Grade “A” basketball team mounted a valiant comeback, but came up short against the Miller Diamondbacks last Thursday. The Lions fell behind early, trailing 19-7 at the end of the first quarter. “We did not do a good job of stopping the ball one on one and did not hedge the screens to help when they screened for the dribbler early in the game,” Coach Glenn Rotzler said. The Lions mounted their first comeback in the second quarter, outscoring the Diamondbacks 1810 to trail 29-25 at the half. The third quarter was pretty even as the Lions put up 15 points to Miller ’s 13, to cut the lead to two. The Diamondbacks caught fire in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Lions 18-13 to pull away to a 60-53 victory. Kevin Lampkin led the Lions in scoring with 12 points, followed by Jenaro Reyna with 10. Mark

Expert: Daily stretching helps to stay fit and active By Dr. Esther Yaniv SPECIAL TO THE POST-REGISTER Stretching: it’s one of those things in life we know we should do, but we don’t always take time to do. Yet, stretching provides many valuable benefits that can help the body remain flexible at all ages. Whether you’re active or more sedentary, stretching keeps muscles strong to provide essential support and stability. For those who exercise regularly – even things as simple as swimming or walking – stretching is important to ensure muscles and joints maintain their range of motion. For those unable to walk or struggling with more chronic conditions, stretching plays a central role in relieving pain and promoting independence. Because when the body is inactive, muscles tend to weaken and atrophy, or get smaller. Stretching can be especially valuable for those suffering from diseases such as arthritis, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. In addition to increased physical performance and range of motion, daily stretching can offer health benefits such as: Improved blood circulation: Stretching, along with gentle movements, helps increase oxygen and blood supply to tissues, ligaments and joints. Gentle move-

ments of stretching also help pump the lymphatic system, which is essential for circulation, detoxification and immune support. Better posture: Frequent stretching can help elongate and strengthen the muscles essential for sitting and standing posture, including the legs, abdominal muscles and the back. Maintained coordination and balance: Increased flexibility will help you maintain mobility and energy, making you less likely to fall and incur injuries. Developing a Stretching Program As you look to incorporate stretching into your daily activities, it’s essential to match your stretching with your body’s current state of health and flexibility. For example, if you are active and already regularly exercise, consider stretches targeting the muscles involved in your activity. For runners and walkers, this includes good stretches for the back, legs and gluteus muscles. For those inactive or looking to add stretches to help with existing medical conditions, always check with your health care practitioner or physical therapist to develop a routine customized for your needs. In general, the best time to stretch is after you have been moving and active, such as after a walk or exercise. This gives your muscles, joints and tendons a

chance to “wake up” prior to engaging them in stretching—helping you enjoy the maximum benefit of the stretch. There are many different stretches that can be done while sitting in a chair or laying down. While there are many programs and ideas available online, through your gym/fitness center or your health care practitioner, other activities such as yoga and Pilates incorporate stretching as part of the exercise. For example, yoga incorporates different stretches into a routine that works to improve overall flexibility. Always be sure to find a style of yoga that is appropriate for your health, conditions and level of flexibility. For example, Hatha yoga is the most widely practiced type of yoga and provides overall stretching benefits. No matter what type of stretching program you chose to adopt, aim for at least 10 minutes two to three times a week. As with any health program, the key is consistency. Explore the types of stretches that feel good to your body and that are, of course, enjoyable. Esther Yaniv, MD is board-certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation with a subspecialty in pain medicine by the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. She is part of the Seton Brain & Spine Institute and sees patients in Williamson County.

H IGHLIGHTS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3B finals. The atmosphere in the snake pit was tense and heated as both teams competed at their highest level.  Roland Luna, Marcos Wilson, Tyresse Purefoy, Stephon Houston and Will Datesman left it all on the court and played an outstanding game in the 41-36 loss.  Vincent Nevels, Belar Sneed, Ben-

son Egbue, and Jun Lai all added points and effort off the bench. The Lions will be back at in next week as they travel to Seguin and Alamo Heights in what is sure to be another great week of Lion hoops. The Lions’ schedule has them on the road for both games for this week, and will return to the Den on Tuesday, Jan. 20.

JV Lady Lion Basketball The Lockhart Lady Lions hosted the San Marcos Rattlers on Friday. The Lady Lions started off slow but picked it up the second half of the first quarter trailing 16 -13. With Sarah Hughey and Kim Rotzler leading the team in three pointers and Jasmine Gonzales and Sam Mon-

the road last Friday in a district contest against the San Marcos Rattlers. The Lions battled all night in a tight contest that ended in a 41-37 Lion Victory. The game came down the stretch being led by Luke Hippensteel and Gabriel McVea with 16 Freshman Lion points apiece. In the end, Basketball The Freshmen Lions Logan Brown stepped up basketball team was on and knocked down a

clutch free throw to put the game out of reach with only seconds remaining. The Freshmen Lions will be on the road again this week with their game Tuesday at Seguin and Friday at Alamo Heights. Freshman Lion Basketball tips off at 5 p.m.

Serinity Alva, Carolne Moore, Briana Ruiz, Madison Grey, Quinn Dechene, Michaela Mojica, Mikayla Hernandez and Jennifer Marin, along with Coach Reynolds, Coach Snody and Coach Fulton. Monday night the Lady Lions faced Class 6A Lehman Lobos at home. “The first half, we played as individuals and got eight goals scored on us fast,” Coach Angela Fulton said.

“During half time three tactical fixes were quickly touched on. The rest of the time the ladies refocused on why they play this game in the first place… for each other. They knew that if they didn’t play for or with each other, they would not find the success displayed at COPA Akins.” They came out and dominated the second half, conceding only two goals and narrowly missing a penalty kick. “Goalkeeper Caroline

Moore, until that match hadn’t gotten much time as a varsity keeper, rose to the challenge and really played fearlessly and with perseverance despite the score,” Fulton said. “I was very proud of that spirit but also the guidance and support shown by injured keeper and Senior Captain Madison Grey. That is just a small example of the heart this team has.” With a difficult district lying ahead, the heart,

unity, and thoughtfulness will be the key to redefining possible. The Lady Lions begin District play next week, as they host the Seguin Matadors on Jan. 20 at 6:45 p.m. They will travel to San Antonio Memorial next Friday to face the Minutemen. Check next week’s Post-Register for updates on Lady Lion Soccer.

toya leading in rebounds, the Lady Lions fought hard but came up short. The Lady Lions hosted the Seguin Matadors on Tuesday, and will square off with the Alamo Heights Mules on Friday night in the Lion’s Den.

S OCCER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B The championship game of the tournament was cancelled due to inclement weather, and the victorious team was decided by points. LHS tied Austin High School in points and so the final decision was based on number of goals scored during the tournament. The Lions scored 25 goals and allowed only one. Over the course of the weekend, total goals for the tournament were: Lexi DeLeon - six; Cristal Trejo - 12; Randa

Homann - two; Laura Munoz - two; Maidson Winnett - two; and Arrisa Perez - one.
